We are extremely grateful to our members – the Born Free Foundation, Fondation Brigitte Bardot, and Olsen Animal Trust – who have confirmed that they will extend their support following the completion of the feasibility study. The animal welfare charities believe that it is critical to increase the provision of sanctuary space for elephants in need in Europe. Funding is unrestricted, meaning that we can cover core operational costs at a minimum during this critical development phase, and focus on raising funds from other supporters for infrastructure and land costs.
